Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to agar-base gelling products and has specific reference to novel industrial applications of agar-containing gelling mixtures.
- galactomannanes are polysaccharide substances that can be extracted from the seeds of leguminous plants such as: Espina Corona, Tara, Delonix Regia, Carob, Ceratonia Siliqua, Gleditsia-Triacanthos, etc.
- Galactomannanes obtained from these seeds are in the form of aqueous extracts or meals that can be used as thickening agents and also for forming gels in an aqueous medium.
- the present invention is directed to the use, as a gelling agent for a bacteriological culture medium, of a galactomannane in admixture with the gel known under the name of agar (or agar-agar) and obtained mainly from red seaweeds.
- Agar comprises essentially two different fractions:
- Agaropectine a polysaccharide characterised by the sulfate group.
- the bacteriological support should display the following properties:
- one fraction of the agar may be replaced with galactomannane in proportions of up to 80%, this substitution, up to 40%, being free of any fundamental changes in the gel behaviour, such as solubilisation temperature, gelling, behaviour during the incubation, viscosity; however and in addition, this substitution is attended by important improvements notably in the gel transparency, giving an equal thickness and a reduction in the SO 4 ions content.
- the 80/20 agar and carob extract has the same transparency as pure agar
- the 60/40 agar and carob extract has the same transparency as pure agar.
- the strength of the compound gel obtained according to this invention may be measured by means of the Bloom gelometer, the figure thus obtained corresponding to the weight necessary for sinking the 12.5 mm diameter piston to a depth of 4 mm into the gel.
- carob extract is used for the sake of simplification, for similar or identical results may be obtained by using extracts from other galactomannane-bearing plants, notably those mentioned hereinabove and more particularly tara seeds and Espina Corona seeds.
- an excessive viscosity of the agar + carob extract compound before gelation is detrimental to a homogeneous distribution of the bacteria for operators accustomed to treat agar separately, which yields low-viscosity solutions.
- depolymerized carob or “depolymerized carob meal” designate herein products of which the degree of polymerization is reduced through physical, chemical or biochemical processes, whereas products having a low degree of polymerization may under certain conditions be obtained naturally (for example as a consequence of bad weather conditions or a late crop).
- Physical processes consist essentially in treating the substance by crushing, applying ultrasonic energy, or like means.
- Chemical processes include the use of oxidizing or acid degradations, by operating either in suspension or in the dry state.
- Biochemical process involve an enzymatic degradation capable of cutting preferentially the glycosidic bonds of the carob polysaccharide.
- carob extract 100 Grams of carob extract are held in suspension while stirring in two litres of isopropyl alcohol. This suspension is maintained under backflow conditions and acidified by using HCl (N). Then the reflux is maintained during variable time periods. Finally, the product is neutralized, and the carob extract is removed and washed with claim clean isopropyl alcohol.
- Table I illustrates the various viscosities of depolymerized 1% carob extract, according to the degree of depolymerization.
- the viscosities mentioned hereinabove and in the following disclosure are expressed in centipoises by measuring at 25° C at 20 r.p.m. with a Type RVT Brookfield viscosimeter over a 1-percent carob solution completely by heating to 90° C.
- viscosity of gel compounds before they set to their actual gel state does not increase appreciably as long as the viscosity of the carob extract utilized is less than 1,000 cps at 1%.
- the carob extract utilized should be so depolymerized that its viscosity ranges between 150 and 350 cps.
